DCM - Postal Perfection

Morning all!

It's my turn to set the challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers blog this week, and well, I've been inspired by the current trend in postal themes.

I finally succumbed and have invested in my first Waffle Flower Postage Collage products.

So, hence this being the perfect excuse to give them a whirl!

Stamps: PTI - Postmarks (r), The Stamp Market - Everyday Greetings
Dies: The Stamp Market - Everyday Greetings, Waffle Flower - Postage Collage, The Greetery - Pen Pal
Stencils: Waffle Flower - Postage Collage Coloring, Waffle Flower - Postage Collage Wild Flower

It was all because of those Wild Flower stencils! My resistance was still firm, but finally those wild flowers tipped me over the edge and I will no doubt be adding to my Postage Collage collection in due course.

I started out by stencilling light rainbow tones of Lawn Fawn ink inside the blocks of the Postage Collage die.

I then went in with a mix of dye inks to create the florals.

While they dried, I stencilled an airmail border around my card base and grabbed an old set of postage-themed stamps from PTI to add the postal details (as I don't have any Postage Collage stamps yet).

I wanted to include a handwritten looking sentiment that would pop out, so used the Everyday Greetings set from The Stamp Market for this.

To complete the look, I finally had the chance to feature the Pen Pal die from The Greetery. It's the perfect fit for the Postage Collage collection.

Make sure you check out the projects from the rest of the design team here, and play along if you can!

Happy crafting!
